Q & A

What is the main focus of the video?

The main focus of the video is to analyze and present a theory regarding the death order of three key characters in the *Five Nights at Freddy’s* series: Charlie, the Crying Child, and Elizabeth.

What is the proposed death order of the three characters?

The proposed death order is that Charlie dies first, followed by the Crying Child, and Elizabeth dies last.

What evidence supports Charlie dying first?

Evidence supporting Charlie’s death occurring first includes references in FNAF 6, where Henry talks about a wound inflicted by Charlie’s death, suggesting it happened before the Crying Child's incident.

How does the FNAF 4 game support this theory?

In FNAF 4, the Crying Child hears rumors of possessed animatronics, which could imply that Charlie’s soul had already entered the Puppet at this point, supporting the idea that her death occurred before the Crying Child’s.

What role do the FNAF novels play in the theory?

The FNAF novels, particularly *The Silver Eyes*, provide additional context by showing William Afton’s jealousy towards Henry, leading him to murder Charlie, which supports the idea that Charlie dies first.

How does the Crying Child’s death fit into the timeline?

The Crying Child’s death follows Charlie’s, as William Afton, after being motivated by Charlie’s death and his experiments, causes the Bite of 83, which ultimately leads to the Crying Child’s demise.

What evidence suggests Elizabeth dies last?

Elizabeth’s death is believed to occur last, with the theory suggesting that her death inside Circus Baby was the final event, after Charlie and the Crying Child’s deaths had already occurred.

How does William Afton’s involvement in the deaths impact the theory?

William Afton’s actions, driven by jealousy and obsession with supernatural forces, play a key role in the sequence of deaths. His experiments following Charlie’s death lead to the death of the Crying Child, and he ultimately causes Elizabeth’s demise within Circus Baby.

What is the significance of Scott’s retcon in the context of this theory?

Scott’s retcon is hinted at in the video, suggesting that the story may have been altered in a way that could confirm or adjust this theory about the death order, making it a potentially confirmed interpretation.

How does the video encourage viewers to think about the theory?

The video encourages viewers to critically analyze the presented evidence, compare it with other theories, and form their own conclusions about the death order, with the possibility that Scott might confirm this interpretation in future content.
